Bug Ratings & Reviews

Only English ant Italian
Lessons of Darkness
Nick Schager
Friedkin's best film in at least two decades.
Austin Chronicle
Steve Davis
Try as it may, Bug never really gets under your skin.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
Beat by beat, Bug is gripping: It has that feverish compression of great theater, but director William Friedkin gets inside it, so it's never stagy.
Slate
Dana Stevens
This is a movie about the dangers of letting love rob you of your reason and cut you off from the world, and, bugs in the bloodstream or not, who hasn't been there?
UGO
Brian Tallerico
Ashley Judd gives the kind of fearless, raw performance that you only see a few times a year.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
Ashley Judd and Michael Shannon (who reprises his stage persona) never allow us to categorize the main characters as one-dimensional nut jobs but two emotionally fractured souls who retreat into paranoid delusion.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
Bug won't get under your skin as much as it will assault you with its ghastly claustrophobic drama and over-the-top performances.
Seattle Times
Ted Fry
Bug may not be a big deal, but it is a sublime and remarkably disturbing small deal that pays and demands close attention.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Bug goes exactly where it needs to go -- to a place most filmmakers don't dare go -- and gets there brilliantly.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Tirdad Derakhshani
After nearly three decades of misfires, major and minor, William Friedkin, the creator of The French Connection, The Exorcist and Sorcerer, is back in true form with Bug.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
Bug buzzes around in random menace for an hour until its third act, when -- zzzzzt! -- it flies straight into the zapper.
New York Daily News
Jack Mathews
Bug, a tale of love, desperation and conspiratorial madness, comes off on the big screen as a wacky psychological snow job.
Los Angeles Times
Carina Chocano
Bug's relentless unpleasantness, which [director] Friedkin bogs us down in instead of crystallizing it into what might have been a stylish head trip, can get to be a chore.
Houston Chronicle
Amy Biancolli
In all ways, Bug is a head-scratcher.
Detroit News
Probably a very good play, but it doesn't make the transition to the big screen.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
It is certain to have an impact on anyone who experiences it, even if it's not the movie they expected. It does not just get under your skin; it bores its way into your head.
Denver Post
Michael Booth
You leave feeling alive, if severely disturbed, rather than deadened by the unthinking horrors of the latest slasher films.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
William Friedkin's latest film, Bug, begins as an ominous rumble of unease, and builds to a shriek.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
Steppenwolf ensemble member Tracy Letts adapted his play into this fearsome horror movie, directed with single-minded claustrophobia by William Friedkin (The Exorcist).
